Dietary mucilage promotes regression of atheromatous lesions in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.

29 Apr 2009 The antihypercholesterolemic and antiatherogenic effect of the mucilage galactomannan isolated from fenugreek seeds was studied in experimental rabbits maintained on a high cholesterol diet for 3 months. Changes in the levels of cholesterol and ... Read more...

Insulin sensitizing actions of fenugreek seed polyphenols, quercetin & metformin in a rat model.

30 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Plant polyphenols have been known to exert anti-diabetic action and promote insulin action. The present study was carried out to compare the effects of administration of fenugreek seed polyphenolic extract (FPEt), quercetin ... Read more...

Studies on Indian green leafy vegetables for their antioxidant activity.

27 Feb 2009 To identify the potential of green leafy vegetables (GLV) as antioxidants, methanolic extracts of Amaranthus sp., Centella asiatica, Murraya koenigii and Trigonella foenum graecum were studied for their antioxidant activity in different systems at ... Read more...
